If you are going to call the turn, I think you have to call the river, or fold the turn in the first place. But I think folding the river is the right play here, if you think your opponent is solid, this guy would have to be one crafty SOB trying to execute a triple barrel bluff for your hand to be good on the river.

I don't necessarily agree with this. Many bad players would limp ace-rag here, and when they hit top pair they would raise the flop and bet the turn. A lot of these players would then bet small or check through the river if they still had one pair.

That said, I would probably just fold the turn. I really don't want to play a big pot with 1 pair here, and this is turning into a big pot.

I would also check/call flop to try to keep the pot smaller. The only draw is a fairly unlikely straight draw (45), so this is probably a WAWB situation.
