'winger' is the definition.
(something with wings)

'beef sandwiches right' is the wordplay.
'beef' becomes 'cow' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'sandwiches' indicates putting letters inside (inserted letters are sandwiched in).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'cow' going around 'r' is 'CROW'.

'for' is the link.
