Three bird breast roll - no Cooking instructions!

ok so
i I have googled, but thought I’d also double check with you guys.

Have a three bird breast roll - turkey, duck and pheasant - from our local butchers who are now closed. Just got it out to look at it…. No cooking instructions!!

Google tells me 170 fan, 20-25 mins a lb plus 20 mins resting time. Does this sound right? Has anyone cooked one?

They are really dense so my only thought would be to get a meat thermometer to make damn sure the inner bit is cooked to the right temp.. if also wrap in foil to try and prevent the outer layer drying out like a desert.

Actually I'd probably deconstruct it and cook each bit separately because it would stress me out so much that the pheasant bit would be luke warm.

I'm not happy with Farmison because they haven't delivered as promised, but they say:

"Method
Remember, after removing your joint from the packaging, pat dry and bring to room temperature (this should take about an hour if it's been in the fridge) and make a note of the weight from the label.
Place the joint in a roasting tray.
Preheat your oven to 210°C for fan assisted or 220°C for ovens without a fan.
Place the 3 bird roast in centre of your oven and roast for 25 minutes until golden brown.
Reduce the heat to 165°C for fan assisted or 175°C for ovens without a fan and continue cooking for a further 20 minutes for every 500g, basting the roast from time to time with the juices from the tray. The joint should reach a core temperature of minimum 72°C. If the colour is getting too dark, cover the tray with tinfoil to protect the roast.
Leave to rest in a warm place for 30 minutes to relax the meat before carving."

Wrap carefully in tinfoil and put in the bin for a few days. We had one a few years ago - it was vile.
