my thinking is to try and bet the turn as if the King is a scare card to my QQ or TPTK etc. then on the river, i figured he'd have such a little stack, he'd call teh rest of it off no matter what he had due to the pot size. thoughts?

It's fine. I think you're both going all in regardless of how you played it. Betting half his stack on the turn and the other half on the river is generally better than letting him get away from it by pushing him too hard on the turn I think.
