I like this a lot, particularly on the turn, when you tons of cards now help you. Some might advocate raising for a free showdown and giving yourself the option of betting the river, but I don't like getting three-bet particularly, and I don't want to discourage a worse T or other bad hand to stop betting.

Let me be the first to stick out my neck and advocate the turn raise. But I think you played this nicely as well. Either way, you put 2BB in the pot.

My problem with the turn raise is I think we have basically no chance of ever getting a better hand to fold here in a heads-up pot (Ks are calling down here most all the time). Therefore I think it's better to take the cheap draw and continue to let a worse hand bet if that's what's going on, without opening ourselves up to a three-bet.
