Burger

Common American surname

A burger is a sandwich consisting of a cooked ground meat patty—typically beef—served in a sliced bun with various toppings: I'll have a burger with cheese and pickles.

The word is short for hamburger, though burgers now come in endless variations: turkey burgers, veggie burgers, chicken burgers.

The form extends to non-meat patties that mimic the shape: black bean burger, salmon burger.
