There's two scenes that were dropped. This is from memory so I might fudge a few things.

The first was when they were on the farm. Briefly, you can see a clip of them training in the field. In the scene that was (to my knowledge) filmed and then cut, Leonardo turned his mask to cover his eyes and urged the others to attack him. Raphael refused; Leo swats him with the flat part of his sword until he does. Blinded, Leo fights off Raphael with ease. The others attack, and Leo fights them off as well. Apparently it was going to prove Splinter's "not from the body but from the mind" speech according to the dialog.

The second scene was at the end. April and Danny take her drawings to a comic book company and pitch "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" as a comic book. The publisher rejects the idea, calling it "too farfetched". Outside the building, the turtles hang on suction cups and laugh hysterically as they listen to the conversation.

Both scenes are included in the novel based on the movie, and I think the comic book adaption too. I'm not sure if both of them were filmed but they were in the script. I'm pretty sure they both were filmed, though, and cut out. I don't even remember seeing either of them in the theatrical release.
