The turn bet is very weak. You're letting the pot lay good enough immediate odds to give one or both of the callers decent implied odds to call if they are drawing... also encouraging someone to come over the top and knock you off the best hand on this street.

I'm guessing you're worried about UTG limping with a monster. If that's your feeling, just check the turn. But you gotta protect that hand with all those draws otherwise.

When the 10/images/graemlins/club.gif comes you've probably just made good on your promise to pay off those implied odds by check/calling.

Either push the turn, or shut it down to check/call to reasonable action. That bet amount is bad.

I agree with everything already said. I might even fold to that river bet, I can't see how your hand is still good.
