University of Turku TOEFL test rules
Turku's institution code is 9701. Combined scores from different test dates are not accepted, so MyBest scores are not accepted. The page says a TOEFL result cannot be verified after two years, and your result must be verifiable for at least one month after the application period ends (21 February 2027). The result must be attached by the end of the supplementation period, 28 January 2027.
For comparison, the same page asks for IELTS Academic 6.5 with each section at 6.0 or more, and accepts IELTS Online and One Skill Retake.

If your TOEFL score is below Turku's level
Turku says you must prove language skills when you apply; conditional admission with proof after admission is not possible, and no exceptions are made to the minimum test results. The page also lists Cambridge C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency at grades A to C, and other non-test routes.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Turku programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
