Hello! Can resident of European Union enter United States after spending 14 days in Turkey for example? We have K1 visa issued and not sure if traveling is possible now or there is ban. 

Yes, a k1 is an exception no advance quarantine required

Yes! If you have your K1 visa in hand, you don't even need to go to Turkey or another bridge country. K1 visa holders are now exempt from the travel ban and can directly enter the US!
