Hi!

Turn bet is fine.You are ahead very often on this board+you have nice equity with many outs when behind.
Alternative would be to check behind turn to call most rivers.But this play is only suitable for not too thinking players that bluff always when you check to them. Good players will realise that you play is not balanced and it just screams I have Ax high so they can make perfect play against that on the river.

River bet is very bad here(btw its not a donkbet since you have initiative) River is a comlete blank and you will not make any better hand to fold. On the other hand your hand is too weak to valuebet against bad players who will have lot of pockets,7x,2x,draws(which will fold to a bet so it gets pointless). When MP1 is a good player you can consider valuebetting river to extract value from worse Ax which are the most likely hands in his range.

But here.... check behind is clearly the best play
