I could be wrong but here's my best guess.
It sounds as though you are knitting in the round.
You slip the last stitch on the needle you are finishing.
Then you slip the first stitch from the next needle-full,
and pass the stitch that was at the end of the old needle
over the one taken from the new needle. Then you put that
remaining stitch back on the new needle before beginning
the next round. This creates a left-leaning decrease,
which leans in the opposite direction from the k2tog kind
of decrease.
I don't understand how that is supposed to make a heel turn,
unless you are supposed to turn the work at that point and
knit back across, so that you are attaching each row end
with decreases.
