Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a casserole dish, stir turkey, undiluted soup, milk celery, rice wine and parsley. Cover casserole and bake 1 hour 15 minutes, stirring once or twice, until rice is cooked and mixture is hot and bubbly.
Meanwhile, in small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter ; stir in bread crumbs; set aside. When turkey mixture is hot and bubbly, uncover; sprinkle with crumb mixture and bake 15 minutes more or until crumbs are golden. Makes 4 or 5 servings.
