What do you guys think? Jason said "last year", not "a year ago". Note that the invasion started in winter, which is when the calendar year also turns, and the turtles also spent a few months in North Hampton, during which time Mikey told Napoleon he was (still) 15. They may be 16 by now, but we would need confirmation. Considering how much of a deal they made about their 15th mutation day, why wouldn't they say anything about their 16th mutation day?

Though, to be honest, until season 3 revealed they were still 15, I had hoped they'd been aging one year per season, making it more like Mirage which allowed them to age naturally over time, even well past their teenage years.
