she was referring to the turtles learning their "final lesson in becoming ninjas" that was referenced a few times in the theatrical cut. it's been a while since i've read the script, but i'm pretty sure most of the deleted stuff is from the farm portion. it was planned to show all four turtles dealing with splinter's kidnapping in their own way (such as mikey nearly bringing down the barn in a violent fit while training alone), while continuing their ninja training. you know the shots of the turtles training with their bandanas turned sideways, blocking their vision? that's it. a lot of the deleted stuff was all compiled into the montage. they all pretty much nail that, then have their "star wars" vision of splinter over the campfire.
personally, as it was in the script, i feel it would have made for a better film. definitely a more well-rounded with the story and character development/arc. does anyone know if steve barron has commented on the changes? was it barron or the producers that cut the material?
