Raising the turn seems like I'd be leaving money on the table considering I'm so far ahead.

This doesn't really matter, however, unless you feel you can get more out of him on the river if he doesn't improve. I think you have a better chance, if villain decides to play, to make money here on the turn than on a river blank.
Seen from the villain's perspective, if the river blanks after you smooth call the turn, you probably have a fairly strong hand/slowplayed hand. Given this, I think villain will be reluctant to pay off big on the river.
And, even if raising the turn gets you the same $ amount from villain as a river blank, raising the turn charges him to catch up if he wants to play.
Fast-playing is the new slow-playing.
