Well I understood that a patty referred to the shape.
Way back when if you were making a pie and you had a little left over pastry you would roll it, flatten it, put a little jam on top and put it in a patty tin. It would then be eaten by the children after dinner with a bit of custard.

Therefore an uncooked burger could be called a raw burger patty.

One assumes that you cook the pastry at some stage.
