How to create database in existing RDS instance using terraform?

Question

I am using terraform to create RDS instance

resource "aws_db_instance" "postgresql" {
  allocated_storage    = 10
  engine               = "postgres"
  engine_version       = "14.1"
  instance_class       = "db.t3.micro"
  username             = var.db_username
  password             = var.db_password
  publicly_accessible  = false
}

note that db_name attribute is not included so this configuration will not create any database

Is there anyway to create empty database using terraform in existing RDS instance?

Yes, you can use postgresql_database to create a database in your rds belonging to postgresql provider.
