Facing Overbet on Turn with a wide Check-Call Range.

BN: $569.70
SB: $500
BB: $513.60 (Hero)
UTG: $505
HJ: $1730.18
CO: $1278.37
Preflop ($7.50) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt T Q
UTG folds, HJ folds, CO raises to $12.50, BN folds, SB folds, Hero calls $7.50
Flop ($27.50) 4 2 T (2 Players)
Hero checks, CO bets $15, Hero calls $15
Turn ($57.50) 4 2 T 8 (2 Players)
Hero checks, CO bets $125, Hero calls $125
River ($307.50) 4 2 T 8 7 (2 Players)
Hero checks, CO bets $1125.87, and is all in, Hero folds
Final Pot
CO wins $304.70

I am quite confused about how I should play my ranges in these spots on the turn. 

My flatting range in this preflop spot against a 2.5x open probably includes suited broadways, pocket pairs up to TT, suited aces and some offsuit big aces, SCs. 

I will get to the turn with all my pocker pairs, flopped pairs, sets and maybe the bigger aces. On the turn he bets 2x pot so I would need to defend 40% of my range here to avoid getting exploited with any two and QThh would be quite high in my turn range .

Although in practice, the particular villain is likely to be doing this with a very strong range of combo draw and nut hands and it could be correct to fold here with QT. 

However, my question is how should I approach this spot in a vacuum?

Many thanks for your kind replies :)

I'm not too familiar in these overbet spots, but I would assume the worst thing you can do is call-fold.  I think u need to have a plan of calling both streets or just folding on turn.  Assuming villain has a balanced range of big combo draws+oesd and made hands (overpairs/sets), then calling the 125 on turn and folding this river is still close.

Since u face such tern overbets very rare it's hard to give u any easy solution. U need notes on this exact villain to see how he approach this spot. But keep in mind that ur range uncapped & opp can't go crazy on any river with random cards. for me this tern overbet seems strong.

Flat the flop with nut hands and everything´s fine. :)

Imo, you should flat your nut hands on the turn.
On 24Tr, you don't have much of a c/r range anyway, so you'd usually c/r the turn with nut hands, but now slowplay.

When i'm quite wide defending the BB here, the number of nut hands I have on the turn seems limited compared to the one pair, two overs etc. combination. Maybe if we take a more extreme example, villain in this hand actually is min opening BTN instead of CO and we flat with 60% of our range in the bb. How can we stop villain from not being able to profitably bluff into our wide range?
