No idea what cut it was, but it was likely top or bottom round. 
4.5 hours at 131°.  Much to my surprise it was unbelievably tender. 
Used the juice in the bag and some mushrooms to make a gravy, and served it as open faced sandwiches. 
 
Next up boneless turkey breast. Marinated for 4 hours, removed from marinade and did 3 hours at 145°. 
Truly the moistest turkey I've ever had. Sliced it up and didn't even bother to make a gravy.  Used the left overs to make Turkey clubs the following day and it was still plenty moist. 
The texture was also very different, in a good way.  It didn't have any of the stringy-ness ( is that a word?) that I associate with turkey or chicken. 
 
Finally I found a few boneless chicken breasts.  145° for 60 min. 
Used them to make chicken salad sandwiches.  Again, unbelievably moist. 
I commented to my wife that they were moist enough that we didn't need mayo. 
Tried some with out mayo, and added a slice of avocado instead. It was really good.
