How to turn (without slipping)

This is a newbie question, so please no harsh words:

I did a left turn going down hill at around 15-25MPH on dry bumpy paved road, but my rear wheel slipped to the right a few inches in the middle of the turn. The bike and I were both leaning left before the slide. The tires are Maxxis Fuse with a few hundred miles on them.

What should I have done? I found a few threads about counter-steering, but it doesn't seem like it has anything to do with a sliding rear wheel? Do I just need to get new / better tires?

Cheers.
