Most likely no. Although your 2011 iMac can support Target Display Mode, your Mac mini does not.

Feasible to connect Mac Mini M1 to iMac 21.5" (Late 2015) as monitor? I have iMac 21.5" (late 2015) and considering to replace it with latest M1 devices (iMac or MacBook Air or Mac Mini). Wondering if it's technically feasible to connect Mac Mini M1 to iMac 21.5" as monitor via thunderbolt port or with adapter/connector. Anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance. P.S. I did try to search article here but target display mode seems useful to old iMac models 2014 or earlier only.
