Raise the flop.

I think skills is probably right here that raising the flop is a better play, but this post led me to a mini poker-epiphany. Namely, the play of waiting until the turn to raise in heads-up pots with strong but not totally unbeatable hands (overpairs, TPTK, etc...) is really better reserved for boards that are very bland. Namely, boards with lots of draws or several cards in the "playing zone" (to use a MLH term) don't really lend themselves to this play, because you will find yourself often waiting to raise on the big streets when you are in fact behind. It can put you in a very difficult spot on the turn, as you found yourself here, and you will already have put in multiple big bets before you realize you are [censored].
So on suspect boards like the one in the OP, the best play will probably be simply to raise the flop. The hand will be much easier to play.
As played, I'm calling the turn bet and the river, raising if I hit my T, as others have said.
