Combine the lentils and water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and let that all simmer until the lentils are soft and musy and the water is mostly gone, about 10 minutes. Drain away any extra water and let the lentils cool while you prep all the other ingredients.
Mash the white beans in a large bowl and then add add the lentils and the rest of the ingredients (not counting the cooking spray and fixings). If you find the mixture too wet to hold its shape, add some more breadcrumbs. Shape that mix into patties (you know, burger size) and put them on an oiled baking sheet. Chill that in the fridge, covered, for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
Crank your oven to 400°F when you're ready to go. Coat the patties lightly with some cooking spray and bake them for about 30 minutes, flipping them over halfway. You want them to be golden on both sides. Serve them up with whatever the you like on a burger and then go to town.
