I doubt so.
On the turn, it is either a way ahead vs way behind scenario. We look at the value hands he can have if he raise, These are mainly Qx, AQ. Not a lot of combos here. And if he happens to have them, he is going to block his opponent from having such value hands. As such, assuming Hero is a competent player, villain can't really have two streets worth of values especially when he raised turn.
On the other hands, if he has garbage hands, he doesnt have blockers to value hands, especially when Hero bet flop and turn. In my opinion, villain will be unbalanced here when he raise turn. It smacks of bluffs/semi bluffs that Hero can call the raise with and evaluate river cards which are unlikely to be too bad for hero (with exception of possible draws completion).
