It can only work if you treat turtles as aliens (note: Make them act like aliens) to contrast how human the ninja turtles have become from being raise by Splinter but the challenge would be writing them without making them seem lesser or glorified. I.E "humanity is superior and we should all try to be human" or noble savages that written to be perfect mary sues.

There would be things that sounds incomprehensible for turtles like raising children or monogamy.

And among other things.
Spoiler:
The desire to avoid death of the individual. (The sole big exception to this is a species with a hive mind, and then, of course, they’re usually presented as faceless enemies)
The desire to “progress.”
The fear of death.
Belief in a supernatural realm of existence beyond the body.
The desire to create art.
The sex drive.
The desire to protect children. (Again, not having this desire, or killing human children, tends to move the species at once into the realm of evil—and, in fact, to give them what’s actually quite a recognizable desire: the immoral love of torture and murder. And yet plenty of animal species do not defend their children, and are neither immoral nor evil).
Division of labor.
Gender roles—or, for that matter, genders at all.
