Why is the turn bet bad here?

Because you're behind almost all his holdings with a draw you hit one time in 4.

I don't think I play anything close to optimal limit poker, which is why I come read these forums. But I generally try and get the most money in possible when I'm ahead, and the least possible when I'm behind. That principle here leads me to check. But maybe that's too passive. I think check/call gets weaker hands to bet, and gets us the cheapest showdown. But I'd be curious to hear a thorough explanation to the contrary.
