Try the following. Only the en_US locale does not require any initialization. Other locales have to be initialized. For more info visit https://pub.dev/documentation/intl/latest/intl/DateFormat-class.html

import 'package:intl/intl.dart';
import 'package:intl/date_symbol_data_local.dart';

// Then somewhere in your code:
initializeDateFormatting('tr_TR', null).then((_) {
      final dateAsString = '10 Mart 2021 16:38';
      final format = new DateFormat('dd MMMM yyyy HH:mm', 'tr_TR');
      final date = format.parse(dateAsString);
});
