burger
Bun-enclosed patty
A burger is a sandwich consisting of a cooked patty—typically ground beef—served in a split round bun with various toppings: I'll have a burger with everything.
The word derives from hamburger, which got shortened.
Non-beef versions specify their protein: turkey burger, veggie burger, chicken burger.
In compounds, burger often just means the patty itself.
