What's my turn play? Call off? Am I really getting scooped?

Final table of MTT. 7 players left.
In BB with about 20 blinds left. Dealt AcJc6h3c. UTG limper. Small blind completes. I check (?)
Flop Qc4c7s.
Small blind checks, I bet pot. UTG calls.
Turn As. I bet and UTG goes all-in covering. Am I getting scooped here most of the time? I assumed UTG called flop bet with maybe A2 or A3 (maybe AA) and turn maybe gives me the lo and we're chopping? I still have nut flush draw to possibly bail me out if I'm behind.
Or am I just that stupid? AM I calling off (which I did) or am I folding?
UTG flips AdQh2h5c. River 7d.
GG me.

You are not asking the right question really. Pot on turn is 9bb and you have ~16bb left. You don't say how big you bet OTT, but there isn't really bet-folding with these stacks and this board.
Don't build a big pot with a reasonable hand and then contemplate folding. If you want to preserve chips, check turn and fold to a big bet. I think hand plays pretty well as a bet-getin though, so I'd play the same as you. Not sure about pre-flop, hand feels good enough to raise unless these monkeys always limp strong hands.

I would want to know the stack sizes of the remaining 7 and the payout structure. If you are shortest stack easy raise pre, if there are 2 guys with tiny stacks, check pre, check flop and turn. With no info I think leading flop is pretty bad and turn bet is ok as played but would be totally different if you checked flop
