No, we can’t.
There is no way to recover it.
You were warned of this when you generated it.
If you still have access to your account or your trusted devices, you can generate another one.

That’s not much to build an answer around.
If you lost your Recovery key…
An account recovery key is 28 characters long, and completely replaces other Apple Account password-reset mechanisms.
The whole point of using a recovery key is to block all other password-reset paths.
All password reset paths are blocked.
If you enabled an account recovery key, and have subsequently lost it, then your only option is to request a new recovery key using your Apple Account and password and a trusted device, or to user your Apple Account and password and a trusted device to disable the recovery key and revert to the more usual Apple password-reset mechanisms.
If you forgot your Apple Account password and trusted device and have lost the recovery key, then that Apple Account is permanently inaccessible.
Gather up your original equipment purchase receipts from Apple or an authorized reseller, and request Apple clear the Activation Lock, and get your gear moved to a newly-created Apple Account. If you do not have the original purchase receipts, then the gear is indistinguishable from lost or stolen gear, and is also permanently inaccessible.

You don't. When you first set up the recovery key you were informed that if you ever lost it and lost access to your account, there would be no way to regain access. Apple can't help you.
If you don't have the recovery key, that account is lost to your forever.
Do they say that to Government too when they need to access your profiles? No company loses access to their clients profile FR! Recovery key is just another way to keep your files with these companies for life. There is no access to contact Apple or any of this Big Techs these days.
